 One of the three agents working for the Biechelon Collective Scouting Patrol A-13, and the patrol's scout. Quick to draw and even quicker to comment, Clef is capable of running his mouth and his opposition in circles at the same time. While not a particularly strong fighter, his ability to manipulate inertia and attain high speeds makes him hard to hit and capable of delivering high-speed kicks. Using the Overdrive key inserted into two leg-based drivers, Clef is capable of fast reflexes and solid air control, letting him ignore the effects gravity when running. When all else fails, machine pistols are a go-to defense. One of the three agents working for the Biechelon Collective Scouting Patrol A-13, and the patrol's scout.

 Douglass Vigant is the founder of the Vigali Syndicate, as well as the retired figurehead for its cover operation of Vigali Enterprises.

Despite his age and importance in founding the organization, he has no children and therefor no heirs.  Douglass Vigant is the founder of the Vigali Syndicate, as well as the retired figurehead for its cover operation of Vigali Enterprises.

 +==== Bismarck Urane ====
 +Bismarck Urane is the head of the Biechelon Collective, serving both as a form of commander and a religious figurehead for the cult. There is very little known about them at the time, as their name has only been mentioned in passing by the A-13 Patrol. Form what can be gathered, they are exceptionally powerful, wielding an extremely powerful version of echyllis-fueled weapon-projection devices known as Drivers, and pose great risk to the system at large if left unchecked. They are interested in tracking down [[ayenee:character:romulus_aurum]], no doubt due to his involvement in the downfall of the Amperia Institute as well as past grievances.

 +===== Historical Figures =====
 +Historical Figures are NPCs who serve to further the world-building of Arcadia Complex and the many factions at play surrounding them. These NPCs are almost exclusively unplayed outside of records or other forms of preserved media, and serve primarily to provide backstory to the plot's many events. There may be exceptions to this rule in the future, however.
  
 ==== Adila Marheart ==== ==== Adila Marheart ====
 +{{:ayenee:character:adila_csp.png?250 |}}
 +Born in Arcadia with a forbidden mix of Nepherian and Arcadian bloodlines, and a member of the least desirable subspecies no less, Adila was not long for the world. She spent only a small amount of time in her homeland before being stolen away by her father to Nepheros through the most stringent customs in the universe. As an adult, Adila would serve a great role in the downfall of her homeland, though through no violence. A versed scribe gifted in tongues, Adila became a valuable asset on any matter of communication or moral dispute in the melting pot of Nepheros, as well as being the one to write warning calling for evacuation to the citizens of Avisten before its downfall.
 +
 +When Arcadia fell, the state of New Incipere rose from its radiation-bitten ashes. When it came time for legislation to be crafted, Adila and her lover Richter were chosen to fulfill the need. Together they wrote a fair and just system for law to be conducted and positions in government to be filled based on transparency and a lack of discrimination. For a brief time, Adila (now Marheart) served as New Inciperes first judge, though her interim term was cut short by her own will.
 +
 +In early retirement, Adila and Richter worked together on their final project, nicknamed the Codex. It was to be a single, comprehensive timeline and vast library cataloguing information the earliest known traces of society on the river Aper to the downfall of Arcadia and beyond. Unfortunately, Adila never lived to see the project to completion. Her involvement in the war, however peaceful, was enough to make her the target of rebellious scraps left over by the toppled nation. In a nightly raid, her woven blood had been spilled over the courthouse floor. Her untimely death was one of the reasons Tara cast themselves and the rest of the servants into exile. 
  
 ==== Richter Marheart ==== ==== Richter Marheart ====
 +
 +Richter Marheart was a reporter of terran descent, who worked for a reporting collective that was often bogged down with conspiracy theories and given a bad reputation among its peers. He aspired to work for a real network, but could never seem to find escape. Richter's big break was a case pertaining to the existence of Arcadia, and their influence on the planet Dredgen Vix. The story and photographs gained him fame- and a target on his back. Quickly finding himself under Arcadia's scythe, he was saved by a jumper squad of Nepherian rogues, dragging him away for their own questioning.
 +
 +After release, Richter stayed in Nepheros and served as a valuable informant, his wide-spanning theories and first-hand experience with ATES proving him a surprisingly valuable asset. It was there he met his future wife Adila, eventually becoming a low-ranking officer in the New Nepherian Order, helping in overthrowing the Grand Republic of Avisten. He documented and photographed the events of the war exceptinally well, serving to fuel the propoganda driving it to it's completion. After Arcadia fell, Richter and Adila were tasked with creating a fair and just system of law for the new nation, New Incipere.

Unfortunately, Adila never lived to see the project to completion. After a raid conducted by a group of Arcadian dissidents took her life, Richter was left behind in a pit of grievance and depression. When Tara cast the servants away into exile, Richter was offered a chance to escape but refused. What came of him after the incident is unknown.

 ==== Amelia Athes ==== ==== Amelia Athes ====
 +{{ :ayenee:character:amelia_complex.png?300|}}
 +Amelia Athes was an Arcadian Avecris born into military royalty in Avisten, Arcadia. The great granddaughter of the Derelict Athes II, Amelia Athes became the family figurehead of ATES- Arcadia's premier military service which operated both in and out of their home dimension. Though a familial figurehead, Amelia was trained as any other service member, eventually becoming a high-ranking commander in the Syllic division. At some point in her career, she had a child which she kept hidden away from both the public and her overseers. Amelia served several decades both as a commander and a member of the defense council leading up to Arcadia's final years in power, becoming a known image to fear. 
 +
 +Amelia foresaw the downfall of Arcadia ahead of time, trying to pursuade the defense council to back down their aggression over humanity before it was too late. When all else failed, she worked with several sympathizers within the Upper Gardens of Avisten to stage her leave, taking a wealth of information and striking a destabilizing blow against ATES in the process. The consequences of her actions came around quickly as the more faithful of ATES tracked down and killed her child, cementing her defection from the nation.
 +
 +Amelia traveled to Nepheros to quote "face the demons she could not pacify.” Whether she meant the Nepherians or her homeland, no one was sure. Although Amelia's defection was welcomed by the warmongers in the New Nepherian Order, she was not a very popular figure among the actual Nepherian troops- no doubt due to hersupervision of ATES while on the defense council. In the end, she was a pivotal figure in the turnaround of the war against her Arcadia, her stolen good and insider knowledge proving critical for destabilizing the enemy in ways they had not prepared for. Despite her presence almost single-handedly assuring Nepheros victory, Amelia chose to stay out of the foundation of New Incipere, merely living out the rest of her life away from the action.

 ==== The Faceless Baron ==== ==== The Faceless Baron ====
 +{{:ayenee:character:facelessbaron.png?200 |}}
 +The Faceless Baron, also known as the Good Baron and Their Facelessness was the first leader of New Incipere. Prior to its foundation, they served as a field officer in the New Nepherian Order. When the raid against Avisten first seemed like a victory but soon gave way to the Schism, it is believed the Baron was there to help put an end to it. Sealing away the Folly that ravaged the city, they vanished in the process- as did many in the area. While initially thought lost, they resurfaced from the Great Nothing days later, many others soon following. Despite their brief disappearance, they came back a completely different person than they had entered. Older, wiser, stronger, and with a body warped by their travels, they came back with great plans to establish a new land from the destruction. Having been disfigured form their travels, the being rejected their former name, becoming henceforth known as the Faceless Baron.
 +
 +During the reign of the Faceless Baron, New Incipere flourished. The city on the coast rose into a nation, casting away their past debts to forge a new path and new law for the foresaken land. The Faceless Baron was often cited in contradictory ways, some claiming them as a loud and charismatic leaders while others would cite them as being a shut-in planner. The Baron was no doubt a strange person, many of their ideas supposedly coming from 'dreams' or visions, many of which they deemed absolutely critical to the nations success. This behavior came down to the most intricate detail, even going so far as to reject water fountains to fit their plans.
 +
 +The Faceless Baron worked closely with the higher ups of Oakland Heavy Industries, one of the conglomerates of engineers that rose to help restore materials from the desecrated site of Avisten with their new autonomous servant. In their older age they formed a secret project known as the Servants Eternal, tasking the engineers with creating a perfect cabinet to continue their setup plans until New Incipere could be considered self-sufficient. In the end the project was a success, with one such ascended unit, Tara, serving as their own personal guard. The Faceless Baron eventually passed by natural causes, leaving their nation and servants behind with a grand mission to fulfill, //and an even grander one yet to come.//
 +
 +
 +==== Conrad Waywrit, the Duke ====
 +
 +Conrad Waywrit, known informally as the Duke of the Burg, was New Incipere's last leader heading into its dark age. A cult of personality, the leader was either loved or hated among their citizens. With New Incipere being on the brink of destabilization due to rising tension in political culture, the Duke was seen as a weak leader who rejected the Baron name to his citizens- and an even easier target to his enemies. In a nightly raid against the New Incipere Courthouse, dissidents of Arcadia broke in while the guards were distracted quelling the mob outside. The raid resulted in the death of the Duke as well as New Incipere's first judge, Adila Marheart. The event was the tipping point that caused the Servants Eternal to disband, and New Incipere to enter a dark age as the gateway to and from the nation collapsed.

 The Arcandum Union is one of the many political parties at play under the New Incipere Courthouse, founded by a woman named Rust. To say they were downtrodden and forgotten would be an understatement, as they never reached the limelight to begin with. The party was founded on the belief that The Faceless Baron was a flawed leader who lied their way into power, accusing him of murder, theft, and the disbelief that the Schism was stopped. While not an initial trait, the group eventually formed the belief that Schism would strike again, no thanks to the Facless Baron's many other interests. While the party did receive power once, they hardly achieved anything with it. The party was at large marked as fools or cultists, often ignored at events they did attend. The Arcandum Union is one of the many political parties at play under the New Incipere Courthouse, founded by a woman named Rust.

-In the modern era, Bryce Arvero came across the Arcandum Union and began to shape it to fit his master plans. With a bodacious persona and a fondness for finding old 'heritage' sites, Arvero helped turn the Union around into a more pleasant and outwardly growing organization. This was furthered by the joining of Alioth, who could only confirm the Union's fears of the Schism returning. Now the Union travels from place to place, restoring old world sites with the hekp of local, autonomous, and traveling workforce. While their intentions may seem pure, these acts could be considered a cover for defamation, often found altering or even destroying history that does not fall within Arvero's grand vision of the group- and himself.+In the modern era, Bryce Arvero came across the Arcandum Union and began to shape it to fit his master plans.
